An evergreen vine with a dense foliage cover. Leathery bright glossy green leaves on either side of a long slender tendril that drops off if not clinging to something and new flushes of foliage are an attractive bronze color. The trumpet-shaped lavender flowers have intricate darker purple veins and appear in pairs. It flowers heavily mid to late spring and then off and on in late spring through autumn . Plant in full sun to part shade, drought tolerant once established for such a lush looking plant. Tolerant of heavy soils. It is both beautiful and attractive to pollinators such as bees, and butterflies. This vine is native to Argentina and the southern Brazil. Avoid heavy frost.
